Lucy Fallon celebrated her 21st birthday surrounded by her Coronation Street co-stars - and she was treated to a romantic trip to Paris by her boyfriend.

The actress, who plays troubled teen Bethany Platt, was all smiles as she partied with her Corrie friends including Tina O’Brien, who plays her on-screen mum Sarah.

Speaking for the first time about her boyfriend of eight months she told OK! Magazine that she cried when she opened her gift from Tom.

She said: “He’s booked for us to go to Paris for Valentine’s Day.

“I cried when I opened it!

“He did a build up to it so I had to open lots of little presents that were clues to where we were going,” she added.

Lucy admitted: “The Paris trip is probably the most romantic thing he’s ever done, but he actually does a lot of romantic things. He’s always surprising me and buying flowers.”

The actress, from Blackpool, also revealed that the loved-up couple have discussed moving in to together.

She said: “We’re thinking of somewhere in Blackpool. Things are going really well and it’s serious.”

Lucy’s Corrie character has had a difficult year. She was targeted by school bullies whose nasty comments caused her to take diet pills and hit the gym and this summer her aunt Kylie Platt was stabbed to death on the cobbles.
